Hero 02:35
lyrics

Hey, you're the hero Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days Sing hey, you're the hero Won't you bring me the light of the past I carry on trying to make it through another day Still going strong with the memories from yesterday I never thought I'd meet you one day But now you are here by my side And hey, you're the hero Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days Sing hey, you're the hero Won't you bring me the light of the past I carry on trying to make it through another night Still going strong with the fading stars all shining bright I never thought I'd meet you again But now you are here by my side And hey, you're the hero Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days Sing hey, you're the hero Won't you bring me the light of the past To hear your voice so clear sends shivers down my spine I feel like diving into a dream And all the words you sing sound like shadows lost in time They seem like a vision of beauty to me Hey hey hey, you're the hero Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days Sing hey, you're the hero Won't you bring me the light of the past Hey hey hey, you're the hero Won't you sing me a song from the glorious days Sing hey, you're the hero Won't you bring me the light of the past Light of the past

Green Man 02:24
lyrics

I can hear the crying I can feel the dying I can sense the pain you feel inside Keeper of the forest Guardian of the trees When will you be down and lie there bleeding? Your loved Goddess was scared away A new tyrant bids to creep Forlorn fight comes to an end Megalomania of men You where shelter once Gave us warmth and strength But we feared to be dependent So we cut you down Shed our sibling's blood What odd sense of liberty I can hear the crying I can feel the dying I can sense the pain you feel inside Keeper of the forest Guardian of the trees When will you be down and lie there bleeding? Acid rain burns all woods pale Poisoned waters soak the ground We unlocked Pandora's box What will outlive human race? Patience you have shown Shown a mother's love For all humans are your children But I fear we need Someone to stop us For we won't make it ourselves I still can hear the crying Still I feel the dying I sense all your pain like it was mine Keeper of the forest Guardian of the trees Tell us what to do to stop this madness!

Wings of Fire 02:38
lyrics

I can feel there's a longing in my heart now I can feel there's a riddle in the air I can feel there's a shadow in the dark that stares There's a shadow in the dark I can see there's a flicker in the glow now I can see there's a little more to say I can see there is only one way to go There is only one way to go There is only one way Rise up to the sky On wings of fire you will fly Rise up to the sky Let them hear your freedom cry And leave everything behind I can see there's a new horizon I can feel your hand in mine You set my heart and my wings on fire As we soar into the sky We will fly to the land beyond the rainbow We will fly over mountains high and low We will fly because that's the only way to go 'Cause that's the only way to go Yeah, that's the only way Rise up to the sky On wings of fire you will fly Rise up to the sky You can make it if you try Rise up to the sky On wings of fire you will fly Rise up to the sky Let them hear your freedom cry And leave everything behind

Phoenix 03:10
lyrics

I have been hurt I have been bruised I have been beaten I shift into the shades Slip between the days Arise from the ashes th walk tall I've been newborn Pourin' rain in me and outside Born through this war Burning and tearing up my life I curse the world I lost all to And go to build my own No use to talk Just pain and steel Speak through a whirling sword I walk the nights To light fires with my spark A lonely fight For my sisters in the dark A light will come through Tear off the dawn Tears of a shadow out of fearful hearts I will raise a pyre A flame in the sky Like a Phoenix out of ashes I will arise Flickering lights, streams running past me Washing away all I have known and I have loved Flickering lights, streams running past me Washing away the blood sticking to my hands Shimmering blades, bridges collapsing behind me My lonely road leading me into shifting mists Behind the horizon shines a light A light for me Shines a light A light for me A light for me

Never Look Back 04:49
lyrics

I see the rising of the sun in the east A golden new day has just begun Mists dissolve in the air, leave the sky blue and clear The sun shines warm onto my skin This is the perfect day The journey's gonna start now or never The land lies inviting in front of me The wind in the grass it whispers to me telling me about distant lands Never look back Just go ahead Into the light with open eyes And leave everything behind Yes, leave everything behind Go into the light with open eyes The air is grabbing my wide dragon wings And they carry me up so high The world shrinks beneath me, vanishes slowly The sun shines warm onto my skin This is the perfect day The journey's going to start now or never The skies lie inviting in front of me The wind in my ears it whispers to me Telling me about distant lands Never look back Just go ahead Into the light with open eyes And leave everything behind Yes, leave everything behind Go into the light with open eyes Real friends won't hold you back Cause you are the wanderer Wild and excited, unsteady and free Never look back Just go ahead Into the light with open eyes And leave everything behind Yes, leave everything behind Oh, leave everything behind Yes, leave everything behind Oh, leave everything behind Yes, leave everything behind Go into the light with open eyes I am the sister of the wind I follow the call deep inside my heart
